DC : Architect of Vengeance

**When justice fails, judgment comes.** In the DC Universe, a black envelope appears to those failed by the system. Inside: "When justice fails, judgment comes." The Architect is judge, jury, and executioner for those the law cannot touch. With powers similar to James Heller from Prototype 2, he shapeshifts through society's cracks, absorbing memories of the corrupt, learning their sins—then making them pay in blood. Loan sharks who burn families alive. Cops who cover up rapes. Politicians who poison children for profit. Corporate executives who laugh at cancer victims. The Architect hunts them all, leaving broken scales carved from their bones. But his brutal methods terrify even the Justice League. Superman questions his morals. Batman doubts his code. The Flash races to prevent judgments that maybe shouldn't be prevented. As corrupt networks fall one by one, heroes face an impossible choice: **Stop the man who succeeds where they fail, or admit their mercy protects evil.** The Architect doesn't save the innocent—he avenges them. He doesn't reform the guilty—he erases them. In a world where heroes won't cross the line, someone must. **The scales of justice are broken. He is the balance.** --- OC character.
